How do I organize materials and subcontractors by specialty?

  1. Open Bid resources → Company specialties to create, rename, archive or restore company specialty names.
  2. Choose Materials or Subcontractors. Use Reassign specialties, or select rows and stage an Add, Remove or Replace specialty action.
  3. Use Review changes → Apply changes to save the resource assignments. Search and filters alone do not save changes.

Specialties organize resources without changing prices or costs. Labour's role/trade is separate. Archived specialties remain on existing resources; restore one before assigning it elsewhere. Reopen a reviewed-and-locked resource before changing its assignments.
